They ==Overview==These stoic and patient warriors are poised to strike at capable of deadly acts of agility and stealth much like a [[Lictor]], capable of even matching a [[Eldar]] [[Exarch]] in combat prowess. This makes them excel in the role of a moment's notice should any threat bodyguard and are known to thwart assassination attempts with the mere force of their presence. In their master reveal itselfrole as a sentinel, the Locus' actions can stand on guard for hours motionless and unblinking but always on full alert. Twin blades are the preferred weapon of the Locus, by are so sudden not their only one. They have hidden limbs tucked away into their robes as well as long segmented tails tipped with a toxic stinger. To witness a Locus in the midst of full combat is to see a shrieking, limb-lashing monstrosity erupt from the facade of serenity. Once the enemy is slain, a Locus will swiftly dress itself in its robes once more and swift regain their calm composure in an instant.{{Fn|2}} Each Locus carries a rod of office that is no simple staff but instead a complex neurological transmitter crafted for them by their intended target often has little Magus and [[Clamavus]]. It sends out destabilizing frequencies designed to upset synapses and thought waves. When a Magus goes to "negotiate" with a particular powerful enemy such as [[Cardinal]] or no warning [[Inquisitor]], the Locus' accompanying it will send out waves of mental disruption that induces brain-spasms, migraines, and harrowing visions in its victims.{{Fn|2}} When not serving as guards, a Locus acts as his [[Magus]]' eyes, ears, and blades. The presence of a Locus is also able to expand the Locus' intervention – usually with terminal consequencespsychic influence and range of their Magus.{{Fn|12}} ==Images==[[File:CultLocus.jpg|thumb|center|180px|Locus miniature]]
